I loved these shelves so much so that I ordered a second set.  They have a nice mat finish which blends in nicely with the paint finish.  There is ample space on them to layer and stack multiple framed photos.  My husband installed them.  A great way to maximize a wall surface without making it too cluttered.  You can also change the photos as desired. There were a few minor scratches at the ends of the shelves on the laminate.
